  This study examined adherence to occupational therapy recommendations regarding home modifications and fall prevention in the home environment. A total of 178 homes were visited and at least one modification was recommended in 150 of the homes. The most common recommendations included removal of rugs/mats, a change in footwear, and the use of a non-slip bathmat. A total of 121 homes were revisited one year later to assess for compliance with recommendations. Of the 419 home modifications recommended, only 216 were met with partial or complete adherence. The only significant predictor of adherence was a belief that home modifications can prevent falls and having help at home from relatives.
